Ingredients
- 300 g All purpose Flour
- 200 g Plum Jam
- 120 g Plant Based Milk Soy
- 60 g Vegan Butter or Coconut Oil
- 7 g Yeast for Bread
- 2 tablespoon Brown Sugar
- 1.5 tablespoon Applesauce
- 1 Lemon Zest
- 1 pinch Pink Himalayan Salt
Instructions
- Place flour, yeast, brown sugar and lemon zest in a bowl.
- Melt the butter and slightly heat the milk (not more than 40°C - 104°F).
- Add applesauce in the bowl, then pour melted butter and milk.
- Roughly mix the ingredients, then add the pinch of salt.
- Knead on a flour dusted surface until the dough come up together in a ball (for about 10 minutes, a good workout). If you have a mixing machine let it do the not-so-hard work for you.
- Once the dough is ready it needs to proof for at least 2 hours until it doubles the size (I place my bowl into the microwave, close the door and wait for it to proof).
- Now it’s time to cut our dough in halves (if you’re going for the hearted shape like I did, otherwise one piece will do as well).
- Roll up each half into a rectangular 5-7mm thick.
- Scoop onto half of the jam and spread it evenly making sure to leave around 1 cm from each end.
- Start rolling into a big sausage.
- Then with a long and sharp knife cut the log lengthwise right in the middle of it.
- Twist the two sides of each half log for a couple of times, then arrange in an heart shaped tray.
- Allow it to prove in a warm place for another hour or two.
- Preheat the oven at 180° C (355°F).
- Cook for 20 to 30 minutes until golden brown and still chewy.
Notes
- Use good quality jam and very flavourful unwaxed lemons - Allow to cool for at least 15 minutes before trying it. - It’s amazing warm or at room temperature, with or without extra jam or maybe a lemon custard.
